Dewayne, my buddy Greg has a 55 with a blown 460 in it. It even has a parachute on the back. He doesn't race it much, but when he does, it's a smoke monster. I'm not sure of the times, but it's got to be into the 13's. Jag

Perhaps it would indeed run in the 13's ........... if he deployed the chute on the starting line and removed a couple spark plug wires.

I've seen a few of those here in the Midwest. The ones not on tube chassis have guard rail marks on them. I would not want to be in the other lane.
